Description

Kristen & Michael continue their Game of Thrones journey with House of the Dragon – Season 2, as the Targaryen civil war fully ignites and the Dance of the Dragons moves from political tension into open, devastating conflict. With King Viserys gone, the rivalry between Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and Queen Alicent Hightower erupts into all-out war, as rival factions choose sides, betrayals harden, and dragons are unleashed as weapons rather than symbols. Season 2 deepens the consequences of succession, ambition, and vengeance, delivering escalating bloodshed, fractured families, and irreversible choices that push Westeros toward its most destructive chapter yet, blending brutal character drama with large-scale fantasy warfare. Created by Ryan Condal (Colony, Rampage, Hercules) and based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, the series stars Paddy Considine (The Outsider, Hot Fuzz, In America) as King Viserys I, Milly Alcock (Upright, The Gloaming, Pine Gap) as young Rhaenyra Targaryen, Emma D’Arcy (Truth Seekers, Mothering Sunday, Wanderlust) as adult Rhaenyra, Emily Carey (Wonder Woman, Casualty, Anastasia: Once Upon a Time) as young Alicent Hightower, Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One, Sound of Metal, Bates Motel) as adult Alicent, Matt Smith (Doctor Who, The Crown, Morbius) as Daemon Targaryen, Rhys Ifans (The Amazing Spider-Man, Notting Hill, The King’s Man) as Otto Hightower, Steve Toussaint (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Pine Gap, Doctor Who) as Corlys Velaryon, Eve Best (Nurse Jackie, The King’s Speech, Fate: The Winx Saga) as Rhaenys Targaryen, and Fabien Frankel (The Serpent, Last Christmas, NYX) as Ser Criston Cole. ____________________ Edit by CineJump Team Thumbnail by Praper Media www.CineJump.com www.PraperMedia.com ___________________________________________________ SOCIAL MEDIA: ~CINEPALS~ YouTube: @CinePals Insta: https://instagram.com/TheCinePals Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheCinePals ~KRISTEN STEPHENSONPINO~ Instagram: @Kris10Kesp ~MICHAEL BOOSE~ Instagram: @BooseIsLoose ___________________________________________________ SHORT FILMS PLAYLIST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL34B19BA788E18384 Click here to subscribe and know when the next video drops: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=jabykoay Thanks for watching!!!

Her sons are still HER sons, it doesn't matter that they're bastards for the dragon riding. They don't need to be Targaryen by both parents to ride dragons. Rhaenys was also half Baratheon.

The thing is about Harrenhal is that it is the most strategic military point in all of Westeros. Anyone who controls Harrenhal controls the efforts of the war. And for the Freys to want to take Harrenhal, they would be twice as powerful in the Riverlands. They have the crossing at the Twins, they have Harrenhal, and they establish a cadet branch there. They would pretty much be the only military powerhouse in the Riverlands that the Tullys and the Targaryens would need.

I feel so bad for Ser Simon. He’s having to deal with Daemon’s insanity right now. He’s definitely my favorite side character on the show. Lol

Guys, I think you missed the part in a previous episode where they said Rhaena already tried to claim Seasmoke when she was 14 and he refused her, in fact nearly killed her. She's not going to claim him or ever come close to trying to claim him.

The difference between Daemon and Aemond is Daemon actually loves his brother more than he loves the crown. Aemond HATES Aegon.
